As far as I know Shane's shorts will be available on DVD in the future. Not all of them as some are not clearable, due to the millions of pounds needed to clear the music on some of them, but there should be a good mix. It is definately in the pipeline.

I don't think that it would cost millions to clear, if it was done properly. Ok some artists may flatly refuse the use of tracks,fair enough their heads are firmly up their arses.(Which sadly is a common thing in music) I think if it was approached with the premise of it being a small run, and a niche market (which its fair to say it is) and that the DVDs for say UK release only, I see no reason why clearance of tracks would be expensive. (Oh and bear in mind that the music business is buggered at the moment with piracy and illegal downloads) After all 1% of something is better than 100% of nothing. Oh and whoever put spell check on this forum Thanks  |

I think you're mistaken about music clearance, Mattrose. It's very expensive for some songs, and you don't just offer royalties, you have to actually pay for the use of the song - both to the performer and the writer. And given that it would be quite a small release, I expect it wouldn't be financially viable for Shane or the distribution company (I guess Warp are doing it) to include them.

Your missing my point, when negotiating a deal it is taken into account the the revenue produced by the product. Yes some tracks aint viable thats my point, however you'd be surprised what can be done. Its can also be very good PR for the artist or artists, especially if their careers need a boost. |

It can be but this isn't a major Hollywood picture, it's a compilation disc of Shane's old short films. And it's up to the distributors or Shane to put up the cash for the songs, which can literally go into the millions, and I don't blame them for just leaving some of the shorts out.

YTS sound engineer
Then programmer engineer in various London Studios
Then Studio manager + producing sessions for clients
Then various productions working on projects with various artists.
Also my own stuff which is why I got into it, and at the moment not much.
Ive had a track on a film called Face 'New Era'(Ray Winstone etc), and did production on my bros project which is called 'Ecologist' Album name 'Hot Filth'
A very condensed version of events.
Are you into music?

Music wise I am into a whole lot im extremely eclectic
from Tupac to Jethro Tull with a bit of Bjork and Curtis Mayfield in between
(as a rough gague to my taste)
Cant play any instruments or sing though (athough not a bad lyricist)

The answers in your responce, it isnt a major Hollywood production. Right. So the song isn't going to benefit too much from it. In fact, it's the other way around. And regardless of that, a distributor can't say "We're only gonna sell 100, mate, can we have it for cheap?" to a bigwig. All in, given the project and profile of the shorts, it just plain isn't viable to secure the rights. I haven't been in the music industry for 15 years, but I have seen evidence that some of the shorts aren't being released for this very reason so I can't be far off. But yea, we're going in circles. |
